Currently it seems that if ttd_u == ttd_l for a heat exchanger, then td_log ends up as nan, and thus also the kA.
However, this is a perfectly valid situation, for example in a heat exchanger with purely boiling/condensing on both sides.
I suggest making the following changes to base.py, such that td_log is set to the constant temperature difference in case ttd_u == ttd_l:
(base.py:838-840)
